No. Most are conservative but I have a few moderate to liberal friends. My girlfriend is a liberal and actually considers herself to be a socialist (I think that's pushing it though). I'd say that I'm the most conservative in the group though. You wouldn't have as much fun if everyone was the same.

Is she like me then?

And for the most part, yes. I don't have any friends who are Republican or Bush supporters.

Something that most people miss when I say I don't have conservative friends is it would be pretty difficult for me to find conservative friends even if I wanted to. The places I hang out aren't exactly bastions of conservatism. One of my favorite bars actually has an anti-Bush poster on the wall.

Sorry but she would absolutley despise someone like you. You two would not get along. While she is a social liberal, she would hate your obsession with drinking and strippers. It's weird because she has no personal tolerance for things that liberals usually defend to the death. Her social liberalism isn't as strong as her economic stances.
Hmm, that sounds exactly like my significant other. I guess that's why we get along. Tongue

I couldn't personally get along with someone who drinks, has engaged in irresponsible sex, and constantly obsesses over strip clubs. I would always wonder if he's cheating on me, which would suck.

And I thought you were asexual.

I'm going to guess she's pro-choice and pro-gay marriage but hates people who drink, do drugs and are sex-crazed. Right?

I'm sure all the conservatives saying no would get along perfectly fine with anyone wearing a Che shirt.
